On my heaviest set on the bench I lost control of the bar for a second and tweaked my shoulder. My form got sloppy, and I was able to fix it with it my back off sets so there wasn't any more damage done, but it's still fairly painful right now. Luckily next week is a deload, so it'll have some time to recover.

Woke up today and my shoulder was more painful than yesterday. There is now also pain shooting down into my wrist and the base of my hand. I had to squat with my hands wide out on the bar, as opposed to keeping them in, so I wasn't able to keep my back as tight. That coupled with a bad mood and no rest day between work outs this week made for a really shitty session today. I went to my chiropractor (my dad) and he said I most likely separated the muscle slightly. Not much I can do but ice it. Luckily next week is a deload week.

Last week was a deload week, so I didn't even bother posting what I did. Suffice it to say it was similar to any other week, just lower volume and much lighter. Going through the motions, for lack of a better term. My shoulder has gotten much better, but still definitely not 100%. I wasn't sure how it would be for today's work out, so I just played it by ear. I ended up being able to do everything I needed to do, rather than just going really light, but it's definitely sore now. Not painful, just sore and tight. Should be fine. Anyway:

New PR at that weight on the deadlift. Pretty stoked about that. A few of the Oly lifters at my gym were watching and cheering me on. It makes me really wish I had real training partners. That was also the most reps I've ever been able to do on GHRs, so I'm pretty happy with that as well. Definitely a good day in the gym. My left shoulder/traps/neck have been really sore all day. Probably a combination of what I did yesterday with an iffy delt along with some weird sleep positions last night. Thinking about scheduling a massage for myself tomorrow.

I felt a fair amount of pain benching tonight and it's still hurting now, but definitely not as bad as last week. I tried to do incline barbell presses, but it was not happening, so I settled for dumbbells. First time I had done any incline pressing in some time, so I kept it light. First time I did t bar rows probably in a few years.
